​Kyushu Area​

Japan's Southern Onsen Paradise
Located in the southern most region of Japan, Kyushu is a volcanic island in the south of Japan with some pretty epic coastlines, incredible waterfalls, and several towns that are renowned for their volcanic hot spring activity. Kyushu is a great region for those who enjoy an adventure like to delve into the culture and get a little bit off the beaten path.

Kyushu is a picture-perfect island containing seven prefectures, all boasting their own unique charm. Things to do in Kyushu include exploring ancient forests, natural hot springs, and of course, Mount Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan.
